Compromised!

Ironic that, the day I get home from a “hacker” conference, my credit card company informs me that my account number may have been compromised (along with many others).  The card has been voided and a new one is already in the mail…yay.  Apparently a hacker broke into some online retailer’s system and “saw” a bunch of the numbers so this is just standard procedure.  Luckily, there were no fraudulent charges on my account.

Trip to Las Vegas

A phone call to my house at 6:15am usually results in curse words and violent fits of rage.  Fortunately for Rich, who is doubling today as airport shuttle slash traveling buddy, this is the morning we leave for DEFCON in Las Vegas.  Excited?  A bit.  Tired?  Hell yeah.  I didn’t get to bed until 2:30am again—nothing out of the ordinary for me.  On a positive note, a 3-hour shift in time may help me get to sleep at a reasonable hour or, at least, avoid any kind of jet lag.

I’ll see everyone on the 7th!
